The North American F-100 Super Sabre is an American supersonic jet fighter aircraft that served with the United States Air Force from 1954 to 1971 and with the Air National Guard until 1979. At £25,000 this is probably the most expensive single engine RC turbine jet I have ever filmed in 10 years of uploading to YouTube. So many things contribute to the cost of a large project such as this CARF Models F-100.
